Diego Rivera’s Cubist Affair

Around 1916, Diego Rivera began to refine his Cubism toward a more purist abstraction of geometric shapes. 'Retrato de Marevna (Portrait of Marevna)', made that very year, is the second Cubist portrait of three portraits of Marie Bronislava Vorobyeva-Stebelska 'Marevna', with whom Rivera had a passionate affair. Our Latin Head of Sale Kaeli Deane elaborates on the incredible history of the work here.
